nothing in his pockets but knives and lint

why not so silly?

i cannot say how much i love that they put him in the nurse outfit. it’s so iconic at this point that you can almost take it for granted, but this was a specific choice that they made. he could have disguised himself as any other hospital worker. they chose to have the joker’s disguise in this scene be as a female nurse, red wig to boot, and especially given that this was 2008 this was not a trivial choice.

the joker has always been the antithesis of batman, and many interpretations of batman (including my own) give him sort of a rigid view of masculinity.

if batman had to dress in feminine garb for whatever reason, you’d bet they’d have included him grumbling and mumbling or shooting a little one-liner to alfred, to soothe the fanboys. no fellas, trust, batman is a man’s man. that’s why he’s uncomfortable wearing women’s clothes!!

at the time of his death, filming on the dark knight had already wrapped months before and he was already halfway done with filming a new movie in a new role. do people ever think playing tony in the imaginarium of doctor pernassus played a role in his death? they don’t, because they don’t even know he did that movie.
